Last time I checked. SMB came out in 85.
It was bundled in the PlayChoice-10, and Nintendo VS. machines.
Arcade systems that Nintendo came out with because of the popularity of their home consoles.

>>764873
Still came out AFTER the console release

Where did they go wrong?

This one action pretty much killed the company.

That, and you can use original controllers.
While you can find original controllers converted to usb, a lot of the time, they use the chinese knockoffs to convert.

Since all old systems use a serial connection for the controller, this is an effective way to make 1 serial>usb converter, and then use any controller you want with it.

I use one myself, and am currently in the process of buying/modding a DB9 serial selector. Use one retropad, and just turn a nob to whatever controller port you would want to use.

When you do, build/buy a retropad.

You can keep it all internal, and build controller ports into the drive slots.

Heres a more or less complete list of all the old 90's flash equipment.

also about 5-6 years ago, I made a google page with links to some of the software to use with the flash hardware. (even then, some of the software was hard to find.)

For straight GBA, the EZ-Flash IV is the best card. Compatibility is 100% (some files require 8.3 naming)

Only issue you will ever need to be aware of is some NDS carts will see the EZIV as a EZ 3-in-1. If you use the NDS cart to flash the gba game to the EZIV, it will overwrite the default OS and you will now have an expensive EZ 2-in-1.
If you use the EZIV ONLY in a GBA then you will be fine.
Just make sure you never use your EZIV as a EZ 3in1.

GBX - Dr GB 64M
SNES - Dr. SF7
N64 - Mr. Backup Z64 2.0 (32mb ram)
TG16 - a Bung Pocket Voice 4M wired to a hucard. (uses same flasher as the Dr. GB 64M)
GBA *Not retro* - Xrom, Supercard (phat and mini), EZ-Flash IV
NDS *Not retro* - Acekard 2

Definitely need to update to a newer SNES/N64 device.

Thank God.

Hello! The phone is ringing so I say Hello!
Goodbye! When I'm talking then I say Bye Bye!

Anyone who has kids/siblings with that little play table in the pic knows this song.

Everyone needs to get on my level.

No mention of the Retropad.
Buy or build one now! Open Source software/hardware.

What if I managed to get married and procreate? Can I still be here past the age of 30?

I constantly remind them that COD are bad games.

Am I the only one who only knows casuals?

Nothing would change if Metroids were in fact males.

Since there is/was a Queen Metroid. They are not all male.

My little friend and I can beat 16 a second.

>>578489
Google was my friend.

He is/was a Hudson Exec, and that melon head was a model used for Adventure Island series.

>>578489
Google was my friend.
Seems he was a Hudson Exec.

He was probably the play tester for Adventure Island I. The reason that game is impossible.

>>578480
I want one of those hudson button counters he used. I can tap in a similar fashion, and I'm sure I can get close to 16 a second. Wasn't he sponsored by Hudson or something? I seem to remember his name coming up anytime Adventure Island is mentioned.

NES - DQ takes the title.
SNES - FF wins.

>>578449
Is that the guy who can hit the button 16 times in a second?

>Treasure has only made a handful of sequels to any of their games. And none of their good ones.

OFFTOPIC:

I know its only a spiritual successor, and the RS2 in the beginning is good enough for me, but...

Ikaruga > Radiant Silvergun

>We could fill this thread with Sega-CD games OP.

Great idea.

Ill sell you like 1000000000 copies of SMW for $5 a piece.

>>362101
You're right.
I was too busy looking at a fat guy in red plaid to notice the green overalls.
